Which of the following is not equal to sin⁡(-230°)?

sin(130°)
-sin(-50°)
sin(50°)
sin(-50°)

Answers

Answer:

sin(-50°) is not equal to sin(-230°)

Step-by-step explanation:

You will be required to use a scientific calculator for this.

Step 1 : Find out the value of sin(-230°)

sin(-230°) = 0.766

Step 2 : Find out all the other values and see if they are 0.766 or not.

sin(130°) = 0.766 (It is equal to sin(-230°))

-sin(-50°) = 0.766 (It is equal to sin(-230°))

sin(50°) = 0.766 (It is equal to sin(-230°))

sin(-50°) = -0.766 (It is not equal to sin(-230°))

!!

Answer:

sin⁡(-230°) =sin(50°)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) sin(-a) = -sina

note : 2)  sina = sinb :   a=b   or a+b =180°

in this exercice :  

sin⁡(-230°) = - sin⁡(230°)  = - sin(-50°)=- (-sin(50°)) =sin(50°)  because :

sin⁡(230°) = sin(-50°)  because ; 230°+(-50°) =180°

           sin⁡(230°)    = -sin(50°)

Given f(x) = x squared - 1 and g(x) = x+ 2, what is the value of h(-2) where h(x) = f(g(x))?

Answers

Answer: [tex]h(-2)=-1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find [tex]f(g(x))[/tex]. Substitute the function [tex]g(x)[/tex] into the function [tex]f(x)[/tex]:

[tex]f(g(x)) = (x+ 2)^2- 1[/tex]

Now, we know that the function [tex]h(x)[/tex] is [tex]h(x)=f(g(x))[/tex], then:

[tex]h(x)=(x+ 2)^2- 1[/tex]

In order to find the value of [tex]h(-2)[/tex], we must substitute [tex]x=-2[/tex] into the function  [tex]h(x)=(x+ 2)^2- 1[/tex].

Therefore, the value of  [tex]h(-2)[/tex] is:

[tex]h(x)=(x+ 2)^2- 1\\\\h(-2)=(-2+ 2)^2- 1\\\\h(-2)=(0)^2- 1\\\\h(-2)=0-1\\\\h(-2)=-1[/tex]

bought a new tent to take on the next Cub Scouts camping trip. The center pole of the to tent is 16 ft. tall and the sides of the tent are 20 ft. on the slant. How wide is the base of the tent?​

Answers

Answer:

24 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The is a center pole and two side poles and the bottom. This triangle can be broken into 2 smaller triangles. When finding the base this requires the quadratic formula. a^2+b^2= C^2

We are given a and c. A is 16 and c is 20. The equation can be changed to c^2-a^2=b^2.

20^2-16^2=b^2

400-256=b^2

144=b^2

12=b

But remember there are two triangles so the base is 2b which is 24

what is the meaning of the slope of mr taylor's line? pls help! a lot of points

Answers

Answer:

The slope is the percentage of test score per number of days absent

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

[tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

we have

y -----> is the percentage of test score

x ----> is the number of days absent

so

That means -----> The slope is the percentage of test score per number of days absent

In this problem the slope is negative

so

If the percentage test score increases----> the number of days decreases

If the percentage test score decreases----> the number of days increases

The perimeter of a rectangle is 18 feet, and the area of the rectangle is 20 square feet. What is the width of the rectangle?

Answers

4 ft or 5 ft

i think thats right

Answer:

The width can be 5 ft   or the width can be 4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2 (l+w)  for a rectangle

Area = l*w for a rectangle

Using perimeter

18 = 2(l+w)

Divide by 2

18/2 = 2/2 (l+w)

9 = l+w

Solving for l

9-w = l

Using area

20 = l*w

Substituing for l

20 = (9-w) * w

20 = 9w - w^2

Subtract 20 from each side

20-20 =-w^2 +9w -20

0 = -w^2 +9w -20

Multiply by -1

0 = w^2 -9w+20

Factor

0 = (w-5) (w-4)

Using the zero product property

w-5 = 0   w-4 = 0

w= 5   w=4

The width can be 5 ft   or the width can be 4 ft

with a rate of change of -8, what must be the value of m?
Om = 2
Om = 3
Om = 19
m = 35

Answers

Answer:

m = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

With a rate of change of -8

27 - 8 = 19

16 - 8 = 11

so m = 19

Answer:

Third option: [tex]m=19[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change is the slope of the line.

The formula for calculate the slope is:

[tex]slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

You know that:

[tex]slope=-8\\y_2=m\\y_1=27\\x_2=11\\x_1=10[/tex]

Then, you can substitute them into the formula:

[tex]-8=\frac{m-27}{11-10}[/tex]

Finally, you must solve for "m":

[tex]-8=\frac{m-27}{11-10}\\\\-8(1)=m-27\\\\-8+27\\\\m=19[/tex]

The perimeter of rectangular photo is 72cm. The length is twice the width what are and width of the photo?

(Hint: The formula for perimeter is 2w+ 21= P where w is the width I is the length and P is the perimeter.)

Answers

Answer:

w =12 cm

l = 24 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 2w + 2l

We know the perimeter is 72 and the length is twice the width (l = 2w)

Substituting P = 72 and l = 2w

72 = 2w + 2(2w)

72 = 2w+ 4w

Combine like terms

72 = 6w

Divide each side by 6

72/6 =6w/6

12 = w

Now we need to find l

l = 2w

l =2*12

l = 24

For the graph will you have a empty or colored in circle?

If the symbol is ≥ or ≤ then the circle will be colored in. This represents that the number the circle is on is included.

If the symbol is > or < then the circle will be empty. This represents that the number the circle is on is NOT included.

Which direction will the ray go?

If the variable is LESS then the number then the arrow will go to the left of the circle.

If the variable is MORE then the number then the arrow will go to the right of the circle.

In this case your inequality is:

8 < h OR h > 8

aka 8 is less then h OR h is greater then 8

This means that the graph will have an empty circle and the arrow will go to the right of 8. Look at image below

What is the total surface area of the square pyramid?

Answers

Answer:

144 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four triangular sides to this square pyramid.  According to the area-of-a-triangle formula, A = (1/2)(b)(h), which here is A = (1/2)(8 in)(5 in) = 20 in^2.

Thus, the total lateral (side) area is 4(20 in^2) = 80 in^2.

The area of the bottom is (8 in)^2, or 64 in^2.

Thus, the total surface area is 80 in^2 + 64 in^2, or 144 in^2.

Answers

Answer:

Option 2 - Approximately 24–36 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A standard American Eskimo dog has a mean weight of 30 pounds with a standard deviation of 2 pounds. Assuming the weights of standard Eskimo dogs are normally distributed.

To find : What range of weights would 99.7% of the dogs have?

Solution :

The range of 99.7% will lie between the mean ± 3 standard deviations.

We have given,

Mean weight of Eskimo dogs is [tex]\mu=30[/tex]

Standard deviation of Eskimo dogs is [tex]\sigma=2[/tex]

The range of weights would 99.7% of the dogs have,

[tex]R=\mu\pm3\sigma[/tex]

[tex]R=30\pm3(2)[/tex]

[tex]R=30\pm6[/tex]

You put the names of all the students in your class in a paper bag. There are 19 boys and 12 girls. If you draw a name at random, what is P(boys name)?

Answers

Hello there!

Your question is asking what the probability of picking up a boys name out of the paper bag.

Answer: [tex]\frac{19}{31}[/tex]

In order to solve this problem, we're going to have to find the total amount of names in the paper bag and the amount of boy names there are.

When you read the question, you would find some key information in it.

Key Information:

19 boys

12 girls

With the information above, we can find the probability of picking out a boy name out of the paper bag.

To find the porbability, we're going to need to get the total amount of names in the paper bag. We would just add 19 + 12.

[tex]19+12=31[/tex]

Now, we know that there are 31 total names in the bag.

But, we are trying to find the chances of pulling out a boys name. There are 19 boy names in the bag.

We would use the number 19 as our numerator and 31 as our denominator.

Your fraction should look like this:

[tex]\frac{19}{31}[/tex]

The fraction above would represent the probability to pick out a boy name.

Since 19 is a prime number, we wouldn't simplify the fraction.

Therefore, the chances of picking out a boy name from the paper bag is [tex]\frac{19}{31}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{19}{31}[/tex] should be your FINAL answer.

Each pound of fruit costs $4. Write an expression that shows the total cost of the fruit. Use the variable you identified in question 1. Btw the variable I used was "f".

Answers

Answer:

$[tex]4f[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume [tex]f[/tex] represents the number of pounds of fruit.

We need to multiply the number of pounds of fruit by the cost per pound.

This is $[tex]f * 4[/tex], or in a simpler form, $[tex]4f[/tex].

Final answer:

In this context, the variable 'f' represents the number of pounds of fruit. In the expression '4f', it means that for every pound of fruit, which costs $4, you multiply the number of pounds by that price to get the total cost.

Explanation:

The problem is asking us to provide an equation for the total cost of fruit based on the cost per pound, which is $4. As you identified the variable 'f' in the previous question, let's use that to stand for the number of pounds of fruit.

The written expression for the total cost would then be 4f. This expression says that the total cost is four times the number of fruit pounds ('f') purchased

For my desire is to see and discover as much as I canbefore returning to your Highnesses, our Lord willing, in April. It istrue that in the event of finding places where there is gold or spicesin quantity I should stop until I had collected as much as I could. I,therefore, proceed in the hope of coming across such places. You and your friends decide to camp for one night. Look at the diagram of your tent below. It is drawn on 1 cm squared paper. The scale is 1 cm : 0.25 m What are the dimensions of the tents porch area in metres? m multiplied by mThe dimension of a sleeping bag and ground mat is 2 m x 1 m. Each sleeping bag and ground mat must be 0.25 metres away from the edge of the tent. How many people can sleep in the tent? people Which function passes through the points (2, 15) and (3, 26)?A. y = 11x + 7B. y = 11x 7C. y = 7x + 11D. y = -11x 7E. y = 7x 11 Monsters of the Deep The ocean is full of mysteries and amazing creatures. Since the first sailors left their home shores and set off for adventure, stories have been told of the strange and wondrous beasts encountered on the open ocean. With only glimpses and imagination-enhanced stories to go on, humans have made many an interesting creature into a monster. The truth is, the ocean's scariest creatures inhabit such extreme depths that humans are rarely, if ever, threatened by them. That does not mean they are not the stuff of nightmares. Consider, if you will, the following frightful fiends. Atlantic Hagfish Part eel, part sea snake, this sea serpent may have inspired many stories. Lacking the scales that most fish have, the hagfish secretes the most amazing slime to protect itself. This slime may be used to suffocate predators. The slime includes small fibers that make it almost impossible to remove. But the hagfish's truly horrific nature lies in what it does to its prey, not its predators. With an excellent sense of smell that compensates for almost total blindness, the hagfish will locate and latch on to a victim. With a circle of razor sharp teeth, the hagfish bores a hole into the side of its now-doomed prey. Once the hole is complete, the hagfish just welcomes itself inside for a meal of fish innards. It essentially eats its prey from the inside out. Like other deep-sea monsters, however, hagfish are seldom a nuisance to humans. They live most of their lives at depths of up to 5,600 feet. In fact, they prefer a soft sea bottom so they can quickly bury themselves to hide from threats. Gulper Eel Another, more hideous, fiend of the deep is the gulper eel. This creepy critter is part eel and part giant pouch. Like a pelican's enormous pouch-shaped mouth, the mouth of the gulper eel can open quite wide to gulp prey. It has a long tail tipped with a glowing organ that is used to lure in prey. Thanks in part to its tail, the gulper can reach up to six feet in length. Because its tail is so thin, it is not able to pursue prey with any speed, but it can scoop up hundreds of small crustaceans or shrimp in one bite. Often swimming through these prey groups with its mouth wide open, its large jaws allow it to feed on squid and other creatures much larger than itself. Gulper eels have only been studied because they sometimes get caught in the nets of fishermen. The depths they inhabit make it quite difficult for scientists to study them. They can go as deep as 6,000 feet, well beyond the abilities of humans to pursue them. Vampire Squid Perhaps the most frightening of the deep-sea monsters is also the smallest. The vampire squid reaches lengths of only six inches. It is also one of the most ancient of the deep-sea monsters. Scientists believe it to be the last surviving member of its order. To see the vampire squid is to wonder how many kinds of sea creatures have been mashed into this one odd-looking spook. Part squid, part octopus, and part fish, the vampire squid has features of all of these. First, it has large fins at the top of its head that look like ears. Flapping like Dumbo, the squid uses these fins to get around. It also has tentacles and a large bulbous head like an octopus. Its arms, however, are connected by webbing that allows it to form a cloak around itself when frightened. Like the octopus, it can change its colors, even making its cloak so dark that it appears invisible. Remarkably, it has the largest eyes compared to its body size of any creature on earth. Despite its mere six-inch length, its eyes are as big as those of a large dog. With its glowing orbs of eyes and its disappearing tricks, it's no wonder it's named after one of the most feared creatures of legends and folklore: the vampire. These creatures make one wonder not just about the odd members of the deep-sea community, but also what mysterious things inhabit the regions never visited by humans. What may be lurking in the deepest, darkest corners of the deep blue seas? One thing we know for certain, much like the outrageous monsters we conjure in our worst nightmares, the deep ocean is an equally imaginative source of shock, awe, and outright fright.
